Liverpool find itself caught in an all-too-familiar waiting game with Daniel Sturridge sidelined by a calf injury.

The forward has missed the last two Premier League matches due to the calf problem, giving Divock Origi a shot at the starting lineup with Philippe Coutinho also out. However, manager Jurgen Klopp said the only thing he knows about the forward's timetable is that he won't be available for this weekend or the midweek fixture on Tuesday: "[We have] no real idea. Until now he didn’t train on the pitch - maybe today but it wasn’t 100 per cent clear yesterday...He will be back as quickly as possible, but I have no idea at this moment. If he is not training with the team at the moment then we don’t have to think about him for West Ham, or think about him for Middlesbrough." Dec 9 - 6:32 PM

Liverpool will be without Daniel Sturridge for their trip to AFC Bouremouth on Sunday as the forward has yet to recover from a calf injury.

The Sturridge injury saga continues on and this one may be the final straw for Jurgen Klopp, as rumors are floating rampantly of a move for Sturridge in the January transfer window. At first, some begrudged Klopp for not finding space for Sturridge in the early stages of the season, but the England international has not done much in the time he's been given in league play, failing to score a single goal in 380 minutes of pitch time. Now, he will miss his fourth of the past six games, and even when he starts, he rarely plays beyond the hour mark. He is an excellent finisher, no doubt, but he has been fantasy poison for the past two years now. Dec 2 - 6:43 AM

It was the worst timing for Sturridge, who could have filled in for an injured Philippe Coutinho in the first half. Instead, Divock Origi came in and scored the opening goal against Sunderland. Said Klopp: "He had a tight calf. He hasn't trained for two days and I have no idea when he is back. It is not sure that he can train tomorrow, so he was out because of this injury." It remains to be seen whether Sturridge will be available for the week ahead, with Coutinho and Lallana also set to miss out. Nov 28 - 8:16 AM

In move which would be the reverse of recent trends, Southampton are hoping to sign a Liverpool player - none other than Daniel Sturridge.

Sturridge has been struggling in the Klopp era for game time as his recurring injury issues have blighted his fitness. He hasn't started a league game since mid-September for the Reds and has been a substitute often. The rumours state that the England international could move to the south coast in January on loan with a £25 million deal to go through next summer. It's clear that the Saints are struggling for goals with Charlie Austin being relied on far too heavily. Nov 23 - 10:06 AM
